Your First Korn Concert Experience!

Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 10:13 AM

My first Korn concert should have been during their Life is Peachy tour but Munky had gotten sick so they cancelled. I got my chance (thanks to my cousin Zinnia) to see them a year later in Houston during their Follow the Leader tour. It was an amazing show! Hed-Pe and Orgy were the opening bands. Jay and Paige autographed my red Korn t-shirt which years later my now ex-wife accidently sent to the Salvation Army ***mental picture of a somalian kid wearing it***. They played a good setlist such as Kill You, My Gift to You, Dead Bodies Everywhere, and the regular touring tracks they play. I remember first getting there I was getting my floor bracelet and when walking towards the floor entrance some pothead approached me asking if I wanna sell my ticket? Even after being marked and scanned! Go figure I guess...I said no and he just stood there looking into oblivion. Overall the concert experience is one I still haven't forgotten and will never! For that whole year I was the most hated person in my small town because I had gone to the concert. Would have been better to receive a leaving or welcome back party like Longfellow Deeds but not in my small U.S./Mexican Border town. Its not really difficult to sort out those who know English or Spanish here. The English Kids would ask "Hey how was the Korn Concert?" while the Hispanic kids would ask, "how wass el concerto de Elote (spanish for Corn)?" LOL :D. Awwwww....a good times they were! :D Do you remember your first time? :D -Follow you(r) own leader-

i have liked koRn for a couple of years but never got around to seeing them live as other things popped up as they do when you try to plan things so i didnt let anything pop up this time so i saw them in the UK for my first time when they played in manchester on 28th of march 2012 and they was AWESOME live i loved every second of it, i wasnt expecting them to be as good live as what they was to be honest, id even go as far as saying they are better than stone sour live and thats my second fave band after slipknot, cant wait to see koRn again, they put on a really good show, just downloaded the audio recording for that show :D, cant wait for their next UK tour (be awhile yet i know but still)

The first time I saw Korn live was on the 9th September 2012, here in Bangalore, India, The Path of the Totality tour. My nephew and I were the first to reach the venue. Its about an hour ride on a bike from our my place. We reached around 2pm, gates open at 5pm. So we waited for 3 hrs, we didn't complain at all :). We were the first to enter when the gates open LOL, we couldn't afford the Premium tickets, so we were in the General section, a bit far from the stage. So Korn came out exactly at 8pm, after about 5songs, they let us all go to the premium section, Awesome, it wasn't so crowded anyways,which was perfect for me. At first I thought I'd just stand there and watch them do their thing, didn't wanna miss anything happening on the stage. But well, when you feel the music, can't stand anymore, gotta bang head, its crucial :P. It rained, we were soaked, which makes headbanging more awesome. The show was exactly for 1 and a half hr. My neck hurts for the next 1 week, got fever as well. I'm korned hahaha. It was all so worth it, I'd do it all over again. I still got the korn fever till now. Whenever I blink I still see them on the stage....Damn I love Korn

Long story short:

i was in the 8th grade and my friend meghan and i saw korn was coming to ATL on an mtv commercial. family values tour was my focus for a whole month... kissed ass, begged and grovelled but my mother wouldnt give... i remember being more confused than anything because my mom, who is cool as shit, btw, was as much into korn as i. i freaked out for 3 days kowing that i was not going to make that show. then on the show day, my mom picked me up early from school. i thought i was going to the dr but when i saw her wallet laying ontop a ticketmaster envelope i knew what the deal was!! we went home to get ready and i will never forget my mom and her wardrobe! but despite her inability to dress according to the occasion, my mom,cooler than anyone, jammed right beside me in her knee high heel boots, leopard print leather pants and a very slutty shirt =). by far my favorite thing i have EVER done in life!!! i got to experience my mom being a kid with me and was doing it within yards of my idols !!!

The very first time ever that I saw Korn was when they were touring for their 5th album untouchables and It was called the tour with no name and I ended up going when they played MSG on June 24, 2002 10 years ago at the time I was 15 yrs old and In High School mom ended up taking me cause i had no one to go with I saw them Live and It was crazy I ended up elbowing this guy who was standing next to me while I was going off to Korn at the show even tho i had seating. I had lots of fun I loved It yeah I got deaf for a bit wasn't much prior going to the show I had my adidas pants and sneakers on and my Korn shirt and from the show I ended up getting Korn shirt and a babydoll shirt and some other things best time I ever had I still remember singing and screaming to the songs live It was totall amazing then and still the same now I can say KORN STILL KILLS IT LIVE EVERY TIME!!! I LOVE KORN \m/W00f.

My first Korn show was April 30th, 1995. I had been a fan since my friend John had gotten me into them right after self titled came out. The show was part of the Danzig Tour, with Korn playing first, then Manson and then Danzig. That show is what got me into music. I've seen 1536 live shows in my life thus far, 47 Korn shows with my 48th coming this Sept. 27th. My first VIp as well. I've met all the other band members in the past but never JD. I've been wanting to meet him for near 20 years now. Sept. 27th will truly be a bucket list moment for me.

My first Korn concert was Big Day Out 1999, in Melbourne. It was also my first concert in general. I was 12 at the time, my older sister took me to see them and no other show has matched the feeling I had. I could write 2,000 words on how awesome and surreal it was, but I see there's no need. You all know how much Korn rule.

Marilyn Manson and Hole headlined. They were okay, except when Manson talked shit about Korn. I will not stand for disrespect towards my heroes. Courtney Love kinda scared me.
